Jared Fogle, the Subway ambassador went from celebrity to criminal, was arrested following a raid on his home in Indiana last month, July 2015, has been ordered to pay 14 victims a share of $1.4 million in restitution.

An FBI spokeswoman tells People, “He is in custody. He was processed and escorted down to the courthouse this morning, August 29, 2015.”

The TV regular, who is married with two kids, is expected to accept the plea deal with prosecutors in a bid to avoid a trial.

According to documents obtained by People, Fogle sent texts to escorts asking them “to provide him with access to minors as young as 14 to 15 years for purposes of commercial sex acts with him” but did so only after having sex with the escorts “to insure that they were not undercover police officers.”

Subway suspended relations with 37-year-old Fogle when news of the charges against him broke. Bosses have since terminated all deals with the pitchman.

He faces between five and 12 years in prison under a plea deal reached with prosecutors. Fogle will also undergo treatment for sexual disorders.

Following news of his agreed plea deal on Wednesday, Fogle’s wife, Katie, filed for divorce, stating, “Obviously, I am extremely shocked and disappointed by the recent developments involving Jared. I am in the process of seeking a dissolution of the marriage. My focus is exclusively on the well-being of my children. Neither I nor my family will have any further comment on the matter.”
